A few sources I've used

I've found JAN 6922 to be a little microphonic, sometimes a little ping, when powered up, I've had had better luck with Siemens ,Telefunken and Valvo, but at substanially higher price. BTW not with an SP3

Lots of reading here on the last 2 links

My favorite (from when I owned gear with 6922 variants)
Amperex 6922, PQ, white label, US (shield, gold pins) Another very good Amperex tube. Warm yet lively, focused, grainless and transparent. A winner one of the best. Dynamic with punchy bass to boot...."Let the floating wall float" - m-fine
